Since I am completely intoxicated, I figure you would like a passage from my second book, unpublished.



“First lesson…” Patch said to her. “…don’t worry about falling. The second you think to yourself ‘I am going to fall’ is the second you do just that.”
“Okay…” was all Goldie said. Her voice was breathy, tense. She was staring up into him with the eyes of a newborn observing a world that it has not yet known.
He taught and led. She observed and followed. She fell from time to time. She wobbled frequently, especially in the beginning. Each wobble was usually punctuated by a hysterical sound from Goldie—something that was a groan and laughter at the same time. Sometimes she would come dangerously close to falling and there would be that moment—when his heart seemed to lurch to its next beat and the world became thick and silent—just before he caught her. Goldie would wrap herself around him, shrieking in one moment and giggling madly in the next. His heart would flutter, tears of gratitude would form in his eyes and Patch would think to himself: This is what love is.
